Brett Has Been Brewday

Again with the Brett beers. Bigger pitches have improved the overall flavors of the first two second round beers of the Great Brett Yeast Experiment—the custersianus is tart and citrus, while the claussenii features earthiness and some game-y barnyard—an interesting inverse when compared to Saccharomyces, which tends to produce more flavors when stressed by lower overall cell counts. But Brett has to be different. Just like someone else I know. Oh well.
